“ TERRA NOVA" EXPEDITION.

Remarks. —I have examined two of Mr. Hodgson’s syn types. One is immature, 
and the other, an adult female, is of a slender type with very long legs and with the 
femora less dilated than is usual in this sex. In other respects it resembles very 
closely indeed the slender male here figured (Fig. 14) except that the lateral processes 
are not so well separated. 
Achelia intermedia, sp. n. (Text-fig. 15). 
Occurrence. —Station 220, off Cape Adare, 45-50 fathoms; 5 2, 6 $ (inch 
Holotype). 
Description ,—The specimens that are referred to this species differ from the 
more compact forms of A. spicata only in the following points : 
(1) The lateral processes are all in contact and the segmentation of the body is 
C. Third leg of right side. 
obliterated, the limits of the somites being marked only by faint grooves. The trunk 
is relatively shorter, less than one-third longer than the proboscis. 
(2) The chelophores are much shorter, not extending beyond one-third of the 
length of the proboscis. 
(3) The abdomen is shorter, not reaching to the middle of the coxae of the last 
pair. 
In all these characters the specimens approach those described below as A. hrucei. 
From these, however, they are at once distinguished by the short auxiliary claws and 
by the much higher ocular tubercle.
